After five years, André the Hilarious Hypnotist takes his place on the GrandWest stage to once again beguile his Cape Town supporters with his quick-witted amusement and startling mind tricks.

Theatre-goers both young and old will be at the edge of their seats, making his shows a fun-filled event for the whole family. Even if you’re watching him for the second (or third!) time around, you’re bound to see what has never been seen before.

No stranger to the art of hypnosis, André has for 22 years enlisted his powers of persuasion to have members of the audience perform a selection of outlandish yet immensely humorous acts. Coached by the illustrious Max Collie, he has over 4 500 live performances under his belt and has hypnotised more than 30 000 people.

It comes as no surprise that André is the holder of attendance records at almost every theatre in South Africa. So delightful were his Cape Town spectacles, that his previous shows at GrandWest were sold out. Given his astounding repertoire, chances are sky-high that history will repeat itself.
